WWE Royal Rumble 2022 - Ranking the buildup to every match

Edge & Beth Phoenix vs. The Miz & Maryse - WWE Royal Rumble 2022

Edge and Beth Phoenix are set to make history at WWE Royal Rumble 2022 when they became the first Hall of Fame husband and wife to team up in the company's history. They will face The Miz and Maryse in a rivalry that has been brewing since late last year.

At WWE Day 1, Edge received an assist from The Glamazon to defeat The Miz after constant interference from Maryse. This set the stage for a mixed tag team contest at the Rumble. Over the past few weeks, Maryse has knocked Phoenix with a brick and the GRIT Couple crashed Maryse's birthday party. It just hasn't provided the right amount of hype for this high profile encounter.

Men's Royal Rumble Match - WWE Royal Rumble 2022

The Men's Royal Rumble Match is typically the most anticipated and best built bout on the card. However, this isn't a typical year. WWE has stacked the lineup with two huge World Title matches and provided a slate of returning stars for the Women's Rumble. This makes the lack of buildup for this matchup more glaring.

The majority of the focus on the build has been on Jackass's Johnny Knoxville being in the Rumble and his ongoing feud with Sami Zayn on SmackDown. On RAW, the lead-up has been put on several tag teams who will be participating in the contest. Unfortunately, here just hasn't been enough spotlight on stars like Big E, Kevin Owens or AJ Styles who should be considered favorites
